Krátky popis
",Today the ideal home remains a site of illusory ease, a space
that can be wiped clean of the residues of living...", In this
radical and elegiac essay, Sam Johnson-Schlee invites readers to
consider the dreams and fantasies we have about our homes, and
their underlying reality. Living Rooms blends history, theory, and
memoir as it moves between the colonial trade in house plants,
Proustian reminiscence, and razor-sharp critique of rentier
capitalism. Johnson-Schlee suggests that, by looking closely at the
places where we live, we can confront political realities that
extend out into the world.In the way we furnish our homes, might we
be unconsciously imagining a different kind of life? In the way we
arrange our sofas, picture frames, and our pot plants, are we
dreaming of a better world? And what would it mean to reject the
notion that a house should be a commodity, and to embrace the idea
of a truly living room?
